May Half Term Family Day

Join us for a May Half Term family day to learn more about our railway history

Step into a day of creativity, stories, and family fun at the Lightbox Gallery on Wednesday 27th May.

Get hands-on in the Education Studio on Floor 1, where you can drop in and craft your own railway-inspired creations during our relaxed sessions from 10:30am–12:30pm and 2:00–4:00pm.

Throughout the day, our Heritage Volunteers will be sharing captivating tales that bring Woking’s railway past to life. Discover the stories behind some truly unique objects from our Heritage Collection between 10:30am–12:30pm and 1:30–3:00pm.

Take a moment to recharge with a drink from our Café Pop-up, then settle into the café space where our Art Cart is brimming with fun, hands-on creative activities, perfect for all ages to explore and enjoy at their own pace.

Or you can head up to Floor 2 and explore our Imagine and Play area: curl up with a book, try on different costumes, or build your own railway adventure with our wooden train set.

Best of all, it’s Pay What You Wish entry all day.

This special event is kindly supported by The Arts Society Weybridge and the Community Rail Network.
